Cytogenetics Systems
Cytogenetics is a branch of hereditary qualities but at the same time is a part of cell biology/cytology (a development of human life systems), which is concerned about how the chromosomes correlate with cell behaviour, especially to their conduct during mitosis and meiosis. The chromosome content, called a karyotype, is an arrangement based on both chromosome number and morphology, which are fixed attributes for a specific category. Hypothetically, it is conceivable to plan chromosome samples beginning from any tissue (or suspension of mitotic cells) giving that suitable strategies are utilized for the kind of cell to be examined. The focus of two large areas of diagnostic investigation for identification and characterization of either constitutional or acquired chromosome abnormalities.
It has been generally found that the nature of sample arrangements for chromosome analysis relies to a great extent upon the environmental conditions where the final evaporation of the fixative generally takes place. The consolidated impacts of temperature and relative humidity noticeably affect the quality of the metaphase. Given that temperature and humidity can vary drastically across seasons, it is not difficult to get the prerequisite for a system that enables cytogeneticists to work consistently under standardized conditions.
DSS offers instruments like Autochrome, Hanabi PI, Opti Chrome Plus and Quick Chrome that optimize the quality of chromosome preparations obtained from cytotrophoblastic cells of chorionic villi samples (CVS) prepared by "direct procedure", through the homogeneous dispensation of the sample on the slides.

FAQ's
What is a cytogenetics system, and what are its main components?
The study of chromosomes, which are long strands of DNA and protein that contain most of the genetic information in a cell. Cytogenetics involves testing samples of tissue, blood, or bone marrow in a laboratory to look for changes in chromosomes, including broken, missing, rearranged, or extra chromosomes.
How do DSS Imagetech's cytogenetics systems compare to other brands on the market in terms of quality, performance, and features?
DSS offers instruments like Autochrome, Hanabi PI, Opti Chrome Plus and Quick Chrome that optimize the quality of chromosome preparations obtained from cytotrophoblastic cells of chorionic villi samples (CVS) prepared by "direct procedure", through the homogeneous dispensation of the sample on the slides. Which make DSS Imagetech's cytogenetics systems compare to other brands on the market in terms of quality, performance, and features
What are some of the specific applications of DSS Imagetech's cytogenetics systems in the field of genetic research and diagnosis?
The given applications of DSS Imagetech in the field of cytogenetics research & diagnosis are hromosome abnormalities are seen through addition, deletion or rearrangement of genetic material. These abnormalities can be indications for phenotypic abnormalities of the patient or their disease states and chromosome analysis rules this out.
What types of software and data analysis tools are included with DSS Imagetech's cytogenetics systems?
DSS offers instruments like Autochrome, Hanabi PI, Opti Chrome Plus and Quick Chrome that optimize the quality of chromosome preparations obtained from cytotrophoblastic cells of chorionic villi samples (CVS) prepared by "direct procedure", through the homogeneous dispensation of the sample on the slides.
How does DSS Imagetech provide technical support and maintenance services for their cytogenetics systems?
DSS provides a one stop solution for Cytogenetics with a full range of products from Sample culturing to Sample Analysis with products like Euroclone, ADS Biotech, Abbott Molecular, Olympus and ASI. Our solutions range from Interactive to fully automated systems. We conduct regular workshops for confidence building and support assay standardization in labs. We also help in the analysis of difficult samples.
What are some of the current trends and innovations in the field of cytogenetics, and how is DSS Imagetech staying up-to-date with these developments?
Chromosome abnormalities are seen through addition, deletion or rearrangement of genetic material. These abnormalities can be indications for phenotypic abnormalities of the patient or their disease states and chromosome analysis rules this out. Karyotyping is a visual observation of the chromosomes under the microscope through chromosome counting and its analysis. FISH is a molecular technique that uses fluorescent probes that bind to specific parts of the chromosome which is used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences
